The Language of Us

Synopsis

Declan Whitfield has always known his soulmate exists. Ever since he was twelve, he has been able to understand Volkhovian—the language his destined partner speaks. But he never expected the first person to speak that language to him would be Mikhail Volkov, his fiercest rival on the hockey ice. What begins as a secret connection between two opposing players slowly becomes something neither man can deny. Years of stolen moments, late-night calls, and feelings they refuse to name leave Declan and Mikhail caught between the destiny they were promised and the love they never saw coming. Determined to find the soulmate he believes he is meant to have, Declan tries to convince himself their bond is nothing more than a connection he cannot afford to pursue. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. When the truth Declan has hidden for years finally comes to light, the trust between them breaks. Separated by fear and uncertainty, they must decide whether destiny has chosen their path—or whether they are brave enough to choose each other. Because sometimes the person you have been searching for has been beside you all along.
